North Ferriby United Association Football Club is a semi-professional association football club based in the village of North Ferriby, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The team compete in the National League, the fifth tier of league football in England.
They were formed in 1934. They reached the Northern Premier League for the first time in 2005 after winning the Northern Premier League Division One. In 2013, North Ferriby won promotion to the Conference North. In 2015, they beat Wrexham of the Conference Premier to win the 2014–15 FA Trophy, the biggest trophy in the club's history. They were promoted into the National League in 2016, having won the National League North play-offs.
North Ferriby United was formed in 1934 as a result of a village meeting during which it was decided that it would be a good idea to form a local football team. They first took part in the local East Riding Church League and, in 1938, they won the Division One title.
The club was re-formed after the Second World War and were admitted to the East Riding Amateur League. The immediate post war years proved to be very successful with the highlight being an appearance in the final qualifying round of the FA Amateur Cup during the 1949–50 season.
In 1969, North Ferriby improved their status when they joined Division Two of the Yorkshire League: the following season they captured the championship and also lifted the East Riding Senior Cup. The year 1975 saw them win the Yorkshire League Cup by defeating Lincoln United 2–0. Twelve months later they finished second to Emley in Division One.
